My Project

Our enthusiastic, hard-working 2nd graders come to school each day ready to learn and do their best! They love to read, write, use numbers, and create daily. We often discuss ways to handle our emotions and that it's okay to feel different each day.

Many of our emotions can be managed with the use of fidgets.

Students who need a moment to relax or calm down can use our fidget box to manipulate objects to settle their thoughts. Fidgets can also help with fine motor development, which is needed for some after being online for most of their Kindergarten year.
